<blockquote>As we continue to look at prospects to cover during the off season, be sure to submit for your chance to be featured! https://twitter.com/PrepRedzoneAL/status/1523672264226398214?s=20&t=7p0BETmEhYA2P9vU_z_84A Justise Carter DB/FS 5’5 128 Mobile Christian 2024 Carter is a rangy safety who plays with speed, IQ, and fearlessness. Does a great job in run support with his ability to get downhill and mitigate plays before they become more significant gains. Shows excellent closing speed and technique when taking down ball carriers in open-field situations. Also takes amazing angles on the ball to cut off ball carriers to the rest of the field. As a tackler, he’s fundamentally sound and can handle bigger players despite his size. https://twitter.com/DuceCarter/status/1523849875435233283?s=20&t=7p0BETmEhYA2P9vU_z_84A Clay Colbert 5’9 175 RB Homewood 2023 Though on limited touches, Colbert showed he could be an explosive playmaker when the opportunity presents himself. Shows a nice initial burst when attacking the line of scrimmage and can get to his top gear fairly quickly. Can get skinny to get through small areas of the defensive line and attack smaller gaps. Colbert also has a nice jump cut that always seems to give him a good head of steam when attacking the second level. With a more expanded role, Colbert projects as a great change of pace running back who can make the most out of perimeter-based runs. https://twitter.com/clevon_colbert/status/1524018635014119424?s=20&t=7p0BETmEhYA2P9vU_z_84A Jake Langlois MLB/ FB 6’0 185 Priceville Langlois is a new wave linebacker who can operate in space and cause havoc on any given snap. Though he’s on the lighter end of the scale, Langlois is very comfortable in pass coverage. He’s great at reading QB eyes and driving on the ball, especially when he’s patrolling the middle of the field. As a run stopper, Langlois plays with instinct and speed- allowing him to consistently stuff runs for minimal games. Hardly ever takes false steps and can navigate his way to the ball consistently. At the next level, Langlois could possibly transition to a box safety role where his instinct, speed, and coverage skills can flourish without his lack of size being exposed. https://twitter.com/RecruitPville/status/1523688344609120258?s=20&t=7p0BETmEhYA2P9vU_z_84A Xander Gaines 6’1 170 WR/OLB Priceville Gaines is a versatile playmaker who gets it done when the ball is in his hand. As a receiver shows an ability to make difficult catches, adjust to the ball, and have tremendous body control/ concentration when making contested catches. Gaines is also dynamic as a runner whose game speed is faster than his listed 40 times. In addition, he has solid acceleration, good vision, and patience when allowing blocks to be set up and can be used as a return specialist when needed. https://twitter.com/RecruitPville/status/1523688537622999041?s=20&t=7p0BETmEhYA2P9vU_z_84A [player_tooltip player_id="232299" first="Alex" last="Ford"] 6’0 225 DE/OLB Tuscaloosa Academy 2023 Ford is a player that is going to win with motor, effort, and energy. His activity with his hands and body movement makes him tough to block and keep out of plays. As a defensive end, he shows good strength and a willingness to be physical at the point of attack. This same tenacity makes him an excellent offensive lineman who can be a lead blocker and create space for ball carriers. He plays through the whistle and always finishes plays, and sets the tone for his teammates. https://twitter.com/Ford56Alex/status/1523698016573882373?s=20&t=7p0BETmEhYA2P9vU_z_84A</blockquote>
